Nelson has always had a passion for working with individuals who have intellectual and developmental disabilities and advocating for inclusion. Nelson has a strong interest in assistive technology, adaptive equipment, and durable medical equipment. Nelson values a multi-disciplinary approach to providing optimal services to students in the educational system.
